An Olympic athlete from Uganda is missing in Osaka. The missing athlete is Julius Sekitoreko.

On July 16, local time, Izuno City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan announced that a Ugandan weightlifter who was preparing for the Tokyo Olympics was missing. The person in charge also said that the athlete had lost the qualification to participate in the Olympic Games because of the decline in the world ranking during the preparation period, and originally planned to return to China with the coach.

According to Asahi TV 16, the missing player is Julius Sekitoreko, aged 20. His teammates saw him in the hotel that morning. However, because the contestant did not submit a sample of COVID-19's nucleic acid test, when the municipal government staff went to the hotel room to confirm with him at noon on June 16, they found that he had disappeared.

The staff of Quansano City said that Sekitoreko had lost the qualification to participate in the competition and originally planned to return home from Narita Airport with the coach. At present, the city government and the police in Izumisano are looking for his whereabouts.
